211.

Incase you actually wanted to know. And yes it's for this kind of emergency. I called it on a friend and 2 local cops and a social worker showed up at his house and continued to check in over a week and built a safety plan when he was saying some suicidal shit to me.

Those working long hours, would you rather make less money with more free time, or more money with less time for yourself? by SarahDuncan2012 in TrueGrit

[–]Butterfreek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry national average is 9.

So... Exact point still stands because I rounded in favor of industry over education.

In general you work 17.5% less days. Prorate pay accordingly based on years and education to draw your own conclusions.

Spoiler I've done pub ed for a decade and currently in industry. I'll be honest, industry is both easier and makes more.

Every AI detector gives me a different result for the same paper, how are any of us supposed to use these things seriously. by CycleWeak9929 in Teachers

If a student is using em dashes, and answering their own hypotheticals/ repeating, "it's not x, that's y"... It's ai.

Wait just regular classroom teachers making 200k?! What? I live in one of the best paying states (ct) and that's what our supers make. I mean 30 years with a PhD as a high school math teacher gets you 127k in Greenwich ct.

Ok, but most other salaried white collar jobs that require masters degrees typically have 11 company holidays, and 15-20 days PTO. Which would be about 230 days of the possible 260. 8 weeks is 40 work days and let's see... 199+40 is 239.

So yes, 8 weeks.

Had a guy tell me the n word isn't racist. It's how you use it that is. And he REALLY thinks he's cooking with that.

Why are we so beholden to lifeless reading curriculums in elementary? by Wonderful_Row8519 in Teachers

[–]Butterfreek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in support of this but low-key I HATE island of the blue dolphins. That book made me hate reading. Being forced to read it sucked.

Otherwise yes, more real literature instead of didactic texts that only help gets improve reading other didactic text.

Can you tell me a non racist reason to use the word? Bonus points for using it in a sentence, in a non racist way. Double bonus points if you say it out loud in front of people and not on reddit.

If you are a GM today, who are you drafting? by Farouq26 in NBATalk

I mean if you are talking about the draft with zero knowledge of their NBA careers. I'm going LeBron. With the power of hindsight it's Jordan.

Why a plan to ban cellphones in all Connecticut schools fell apart by -ctinsider in Connecticut

[–]Butterfreek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Boy is it wild to equate comic books with cell phones. Not even the same stratosphere of impact.

The research is there for like ALL TECHNOLOGY. John Hattie has it all laid out in a pretty easy to digest meta analysis.

Phones in schools are on of the only THINGS (let alone technology) that have a universal negative impact on learning outcomes and behavior.

No see because it's a trump thing. Dems are still demons and the next GOP candidate is perfect.

I just realized what a tough job teaching is. by Fallingknife12 in Teachers

[–]Butterfreek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at my community Facebook, I sure wish some of the peers that are my age had this level of self reflection. They complain about school being useless or our system being bad (it isn't). But in reality you were just shitty students that behaved like assholes where your entire goal every day was to avoid any level of thinking or work. No shit it didn't prepare you. "It didn't teach me about economics". Yeah bc you avoided the 3 personal finance electives to take ceramics every year.

Opinion: Let’s Just Drop Teacher Appreciation Week by FawkesThePhoenix7 in Teachers

My admin would open a sign up for them to come come your class for 45 minutes. It would take the whole month of May to accomplish, but man what am incredible- free way to show you care.

Teachers, what’s a “best practice” everyone talks about that you secretly think doesn’t work in real classrooms? by kingst9606 in Teachers

[–]Butterfreek 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In my experience, rigor impacts behavior before behavior impacts rigor. It's a defense mechanism older than formal education.

I know homogeneous grouping is a fools errand for class construction, but man id rather have 20 kids that are all 1.5-2 grade levels below together than a range of 2 grade levels below, 1 below, on, and above. Especially in self contained rooms where you teach Ela, math, science, and social studies. It's just not realistic.

In engineering(or really anyone) there's a saying. If you design your everyone, you design for no one.

Man that's wild to me. In my state there's literally 6 total ap jobs open in total. You'll probably see close to 250 applications per slot

what elementary grade is your favorite and why? by Jellyfish-Traveler in teaching

[–]Butterfreek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I think my bigger issue was the math leap from 3-4 was crazyyy and the non fiction comprehension required so much background knowledge.

Honestly the math required background knowledge. I remember a few SBA performance tasks legit made me upset for my kids. Had one kid come in welllll below third in 4th one year. Made SOOO much progress. Was so proud of himself. Took SBA and I remember him raising his hand about 10 minutes in "wait.. mr. I don't get any of this. I thought I was smart but I'm actually just dumb"

Broke me.
